Decisions on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Duncan McNeil)

Good morning and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2010 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I remind members and the public to turn off all mobile phones and BlackBerrys. Apologies have been received from David McLetchie; no substitute was available.

Item 1 is to consider whether to take business in private. Do members agree to take items 5 and 6 of today’s meeting in private?

Members indicated agreement.

I also ask members to agree to consider a detailed approach to proposed legislation in private at our next meeting.

Members indicated agreement.
